22-23 Championship Season

Wheeler is not a Big. Soriano shouldn’t be shooting threes. Wings like Wheeler shoot threes.

“Wings like Wheeler”? You’re a troll and a half. Wheeler bounces the ball to his chin. He looked awful literally every time he had to dribble more than 3x in row and it usually resulted in a terrible decision.

What makes someone a wing to you? Was 6’11 250 Kevin Pittsnogle a wing because he shot 40% on 7 threes a game?

What wings did Wheeler defend? He never defended the 2 or 3 unless it was a breakdown or a switch.  He played the 4 and 5 his entire career.

The defining aspect of being a wing is defending the position — which no reasonable person would suggest Wheeler can do. The next defining quality would be handling the ball well. I’d add shooting ability and passing ability as lesser aspects. Wheeler was a decent shooter this year unlike the first three years of his career. That doesn’t make him a wing. If it does, then Donald
Emanuel was a wing too, because their #s are almost identical.

You just keep digging a bigger hole for yourself. I get it- you watch games and see the players shoot and dribble and you think you know basketball when really you don't know what you are watching.
Let's see from just a random search where Wheeler is considered a Wing:

Zach B, NY Post article: Forward Aaron Wheeler has opted to bypass his final year of eligibility and go pro, his father Bill told The Post.
The 6-foot-9 wing averaged 10 points, 4.7 rebounds and shot 38.5 percent from 3-point range.

His 247 sports description: Aaron Wheeler, a 6-foot-7 wing forward who suits up for St. Andrews School (RI) is one most versatile prospects in the class of 2017.

Purdue's forum site after he committed there: Purdue has landed its second verbal commitment for 2017, as East Coast wing Aaron Wheeler has committed to the Boilermakers following a weekend official visit,

I hate to say it but I agree with you on this.  Wheeler is the furthest thing to a 5 and even a power 4.  He's built for the amall forward position more than Champagnie who can't handle the ball or shoot off the dribble.
Who you defend is not a factor in the NBA because there is little of it played. If it were you would have scores in the 70's and 80's and not 110.

Let me get this straight…Aaron Wheeler never played a minute of SF in his entire four-year college career, but Jared from Subway and some no-name from 247 sports labeling him a wing makes it so?

I am afraid you are too stupid to converse with. There is literally nothing that can be gained by interactive with such a simpleton. And for that I’m out.

Alright. Let’s talk some St. John’s basketball.

Pretty good case to be made we will have the best backcourt in the BE next year. 

It's a good get. This team definitely needed another ball handler. It all depends on which Curbelo we're getting and if they can both co-exist. They're definitely the quickest backcourt. Neither is an outside shooter which will cause issues in the halfcourt.
I'm guessing Posh will play off the ball more and work the post a bunch. Another issue with the current roster is the lack of athletes that can run with these guys in the open court.  Regardless, it's good to upgrade the talent and the press defense will benefit. Let's see how they fill out the rest of the roster.

Agree with everything you said except posting up Posh. A 6'3" and strong Mark Jackson used to post up and even did so in the NBA and even at his height he was an an anomaly. Not sure I've ever seen a 5'10" PG posting up at the D1 level.

You don’t think Nwyie and Stanley can run?

Is there enough of a sample size? Stanley has some potential but he's very raw and is that really who you want to depend on? Nwiye doesnt really have good hands and he isn't the starter. So no there aren't any proven open court wings on this team that can excel on the fastbreak.
